Colin O’Donoghue told the Irish Mirror that his character’s look was inspired by Depeche Mode. In the June 23 report, the Irish actor says series creator Edward Kitsis told him he was going to look like he was going to the electronic band’s concert, allowing O’Donoghue to where lots of eye liner and a “bucket load of leather.The actor says there isn’t much call to wear the black leather pants back home so he enjoys the chance to wear them here. He says of his own wardrobe, “I haven’t kept my black leather pants; I’m not really sure where I would ever wear them. I don’t know if my wife Helen would be convinced by them.”Colin was brought on “Once Upon a Time” last fall as a guest star. He proved so popular with fans that he was promoted to series regular for next season. He is surprised by his success because he didn’t think he would even land the role.The 32-year-old actor thought he didn’t stand a chance because he wasn’t old enough to play the traditional characterization of Captain Hook. After discussing it with the producers, they came up with the unique character that fans see today.This modern-day Hook is both caring and charming and villainous and vengeful. It is heart wrenching to watch him struggle with his two sides because he does try to live by a moral code, according to Colin.The handsome Irishman found the undertaking to be challenging. He never imagined himself playing such an iconic role. He was a Peter Pan fan stemming back to the Robin Williams film “Hook.” Plus you have to factor in everyone’s familiarity with the Disney version. He wanted to do the justice but in his own way.Fans of the fantasy series certainly think he has done just that. Season 3 of “Once Upon A Time” will return to ABC in the fall.

As TV people, we get excited when we see our favorite stars hang out. During the ABC Studios Tour — which went from Monte Carlo to London and other international locations — last week, we saw a few crossovers, including ONce Upon a Time favorite Colin o'Donoghue (Captain Hook) hanging out with Scandal's Darby Stanchfield and Revenge's Gabriel Mann. After those pictures, we didn’t think anything could top it — until we saw this one. In the photo above, both Darby and Gabe are snuggled up close to Colin, all looking flawless and adorable as they pose. Be right back, we have a new desktop background to set.Darby posts this one, writing, “#OnceUponAScandalousRevenge at @EsquireUK @JimmyChooLtd party. #ABCStudiosTour Final Night in London!” Aww. Love it!Though we doubt that Hook will be sailing into the Hamptons or facing off against Olivia Pope & Associates anytime soon, we still have hope that these Three Musketeers will work together in some capacity. There were plenty of other actors to hang out with, but it looks like they all bonded, probably because they are part of the best network and some of the best TV shows on air. At the very least, it looks like they’re besties for life.Do you think that these three shows could crossover, or is that crazy?
